Originally posted by Rep View PostI'm happy enough to now to sit back until retail, personally I've done enough over the course of the Beta's to not warrant putting another 10days in, only to get progress wiped. I know how systems work, where things are etc.
That said if anyone still wants to do some stuff let me know and I'll join in, or if people haven't joined the shell or tried the Beta yet.
What i'm actually quite pleased about is that I don't think it really matters if we end up spread out over different city's, within the first few days we should all be free to move about them all easy enough and i'd imagine the missions will converge later on like in FFXI.
Saying that though i'm still going to start in Gridania, its opening sequence and early missions seemed the most entertaining, though they are all good.

Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting the Square Enix Support Centre.
I understand your problem and can relate to the issue of the fair-usage policy being broken. However I'm afraid to say the final version of the game will be using a peer-to-peer system identical to the one in the Beta. The main game will ship on a disc so it won't be necessary to download the initial 22GB (approx.) client. That said, patches which could be large will be distributed this way so although they will be smaller and less frequent they may still take you over the fair-usage limit. I'm sorry about this and there are no plans to allow users to adjust their upload and download rates but we have made our head-office aware that this is causing problems for people and may be fixed in future.
Again I hope you aren't too put off by this and I hope the patches will be small enough and infrequent enough not to break your limit.
Warm Regards,
Square Enix Support Centre Team

This was sent me after I complained to the company for making the update system peer-to-peer and making them aware that British internet service providers, amongst many, have strong fair usage policies.

I was really hoping GAME would post the game today as they charged me and what not but I guess it'll either ship 2morro or Monday getting here on Tuesday/Wednesday.
I'm not 100% sure I'm gonna start the game on the 22nd, I might pick up the standard version cos I'd really like those goggles lol shame I missed the Zavvi offer >_<
